It’s just a number
I am not going to put a number on how many books I want to read/listen to. I do put a number on Goodreads (this year was 20 and maybe for next I will put 30), but I don’t want to be married to a number goal.

Dwindle the piles
What I do want to do is definitely read my TBR Book Con pile before going to Book Con in June.

365 days of audiobooks

I want to listen to an audiobook each day of the year. I know somedays will be hard because I will be tired, but on days like those even a 15-30 minute short story will do. I’ll take a screen-cap of my starting days/hours/minutes count and then build it up each day of the year. And I have plenty of books waiting to be listened to on my Audible app.

Support your local library

To save money and support the wonderful NYPL I want to borrow more, especially when it comes to books that are part of a series. I have started a few series and just not finished them because I often don’t have the extra funds to spend nor do I have the room to keep them. Then because I get attached it becomes hard for me to weed my shelves to make room. To solve this problem – I will go to the library!

I saw this post on Purple Manatees and thought to do a post like it too. I have accumulted so many books and I can’t read that fast. So many of these have been sitting on my poor TBR pile for years.

I am hoping this post becomes something of a motivational tool to get through them.

1. How many books are in this pile currently?
87 total. This doesn’t show the books my sister got from NYCC and Book Con that I want to read too. Or the books I have downloaded as ebooks and audiobooks. So…technically it is well over a hundred, maybe even close to 200, but I am too scared to count them.

Descriptions of the pictures bellow:31 Books I bought or were given by family/friends (with the exception of Year Zero and The Winter of the Witch. I forgot to add those to the NYCC pile because I had put them aside as my December reads.)

23 Star Wars books: Most of these I bought before Disney purchased Lucasfilm and turned the EU into Legends. Which sort of made me lose motivation. Also, the amount of SW books out there is very overwhelming.
